November side hustles 2015

The great thing about
doing side hustles to generate extra income is that you can hustle on your own
terms.The more hard work, time, and
creative effort you put in, the more extra money you can make.You can hustle as little or as much as you
want, whenever you want.It’s your extra
money, and you can choose how you want to spend it.Instead of focusing on what ideas don’t apply to you, try focusing
on different side hustle ideas that you can implement to work for your
situation.

Welcome to December, another
new month.There is only one more month
to go now before we finish 2015.This is
the busiest time of the year for us.For
most people, I believe this is also the most expensive time of the year.Did
you score any hot deals for Black Friday? While we are normally pretty frugal, we
couldn’t resist on a deal for a cordless Dyson vacuum cleaner that I found
online.It should make cleaning up
around the home faster and more efficient.

With my wife starting
work again for the last couple of weeks, we are back to a two-income household.While it’s been sad for her to leave the
little one at home (with me for the last 2 weeks), we know that two incomes
will help us reach financial freedom much faster than one income alone.

The little man starts
day care today, and it’s going to be a sad day for all us.We have been lucky to have almost 6 months of
time to raise our son all by ourselves.Now it is time to trust him in the hands of professionals. I'm also sad for our dog Abby, who has been accustomed to someone home with her during most of the day. I’m glad that his day care is only about 5 minutes
from my office, so I will be able to check in on him during lunch for the first
few days.For the foreseeable future,
I’ll be dropping our son off to day care in the mornings and my wife will pick
him up in the afternoons.She gets off
work at 3:30pm.Thinking about our son
at day care is a huge motivator for us to continue to work hard and save
aggressively.

Here’s our monthly
summary of side income that we have generated in the previous month of November.
